Snap: window snapping on Mac with a layout picker
This 24-second video shows Snap in FavTray, a Mac menu bar app for developers. Drag a window to an edge and pick a layout. Shortcuts snap a window to halves with ⌃⌥← and ⌃⌥→ or to quarters with ⌃⌥U, I, J and K. Drag a window to the top edge and a picker offers halves, quarters, Max and Center; ⌃⌥C centres a window and ⌃⌥⌫ steps back.
